Over 20 pills per day. Physical therapy(water and land) twice per week. I also have aggressive skin therapy so that I will adapt to wearing every day clothes. I like the light weight gowns and pj's. I often go through the sweats;followed by the chills. My bodies thermostat has been messed with by this culprit.

Thanks for your feedback.

Dew,
The "Sweats / Chills.
I am all to familiar, for more than 25 years.
Thats why the polypropylene undergarments (t shirts at least).
It wicks the perspiration away.
NO COTTON ON MY TORSO!
It just becomes a sponge, that makes the Sweat/Chill cycle more VICIOUS.
I shower, dry, and spray the worst areas with anti perspirant.
And, I use a blow dryer on whatever temp is desirable to "dry off".
Cool mostly.

Also, be careful, that's a lot of cymbalta. 60mg. is written as the max, in the manufacturers own literature.
Ask your doctor!!

Be well!
